Captain Phillips

Synopsis

In 2009, pirates on the high seas seemed a romanticized thing of the past -- until a US cargo ship was hijacked by a group of armed men from Somali. This movie dramatized the real life events that Captain Richard Phillips (played by Tom Hanks) and his crew endured during the hostile takeover.

MPAA Rating

PG-13 for sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images, and for substance use
